After a few years of being down we decided to finish the car when we heard they were bringing a half mile event to colorado. While the event was a joke, we had fun and we finally got to stretch a car out for a change in a longer distance event. There was a lot of procrastinating so I was unable to get the car on the dyno until yesterday. Things took a while but it went smooth for the most part. One nice part we were finally able to prove what we all up here know i how hard it is to make power at our elevation. The English Racing cars were down 10-15mph from the last event they ran in california.
I had to hold the car back as we did not trust the stock rods any further. We also reached the end of our stock ignition. We turned the boost up, pulled some timing and raised the rev limiter for our last run shooting for 170mph. It was cooking for sure in 1-3 gear. At about 7500rpm in fourth the car nosed over and was blowing out the spark pretty bad even at a .016" gap and he had to get out of it. We by far had the cheapest car out there but, we the fastest amatuer car not built or sponsored by a shop.
The density altitude was 9575ft today as well. So a tough day for a lot of folks, especially the naturally aspirated cars. I am working on the dyno video and one from our 165mph run. I have a picture of our results though. We think the car should do 190-195 in the mile as it sits at altitude. We need more ignition and maybe a little taller tire though. Our goal of a 200mph mile car is not too far off it seems.
